A New Railroad.
Port Angeles, on tie Strait of
Juan da Fuca, in Washington ter
ritory, is all aglow with enthusiasm
over the prospect of possessing a
railroad in the near future. A cor
respondent of a Seattle paper states
that there is a natural outlet for a
railroad from Port Angeles to Port
land ria Gray's harbor, and through
a country, too, whose local traffic
would be immense of itself. This
would bo the connecting link in the
chain of railways from tho coal
mines ef Vancouver Island to San
Francisco. With this link com
pleted, a steam ferry would be all
that would be needed to send coal
from the mines to San Francisco
without breaking bulk. This is the
dream of the owners of these large
beds of coal, and having; the neces
sary cash to push the scheme to a
practical test, no doubt but little
time will elapse before the dream
becomes a reality. It roust lie
orne in mind that this is not nil .a
dream, for the line to the opposite
side of the strait has been surveyed.

God, lightning courieis leaping
from the palace gate ? The news !
The glorious news! That there is
pardon for all guilt, and comfort
for all trouble. Set it np in double

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. 3rd, 1888.
Among the little things and big
things that Lave been done in con
gress this week, I will mention that
the senate unanimously and without
debate voted to substitute the 30th
of April for the 4th of March as in
auguration day. They also voted
that the term of office of the preai
dent and of the Fiftieth congress
shall continue till the 30th day of
April, 1889, at noon; that the sen
ators whose existing term would ex
pire on the 4th of March, 1889,
(and thereafter) shall . continue . in
office till tha 30th of April succeed -
in? soch SYptratteA, and tiat ' tt
30th of April shall thereafter be
substituted for the 4th of March as
the commencement and termination
of the official term of the presi
dent, vice-president, senators and
representative in congress.
In the house end of the capitol
there is on the calendar another con
stitutional amendment awaiting a
vote. It Axes the day for the meet
ing of congress on the first Monday
in January, and the time for final
j adjournment at noon on the 31st of
December. This, you see, would
practically make a continuous ses
sion for the two years term, inter
rupted by such recesses as both
houses should agree to.
The senate has agreed to give a
81,2000,000 public building to Ne
braska's thriving city of Omaha, and
the house has voted to favor with
public buildings Greenville, 8. C.,
Portsmouth, Ohio, Asheville, N. C,
Springfield, Mo., and Monroe, La.
Prohibition bills, memorials and
petitions continue to pour in upon
both houses. One of the latest and
strongest is the result of the yearly
meeting of the Society of Friends
iu Baltimore, which shows that the
Friends do not believe iu half-way
measures. The petition calls for a
constitutional amendment prohibit
ing the manufacture, exportation,
iiiuxiilalion, transportation and sale
of liijuoiw iu the United States. Pe
titions continue- to bo presented
also iu favor of tho proposed con
stitutional ceuteunial celebration to
be held iu this city.
To give you an idea of the de
mands made by constituents and
other callers made upon our law
makers, which should bo spent, dur
ing the daily session at least, in at
tention to public business, I will
mention that tho doorkeeper at the
various entrances to the floor of the
house kept tally on last Tburoday of
the cards sent in to members during
the day. Owing to the bad weather
there happened to be fewer people
at the capitol than usual, yet 1700
cards were sent iu. This did not in
clude those sent iu from the ladies
reception room, which would have
numliered several hundred more.
There was a little contest in the
seuate over the one cent postage
bill In presenting the senatorial
postoflice committee's adverse re
port upon tho dainty measure, Chair
man Sawyer stated that the post-
office department was not self-sup
porting yet, and therefore it was not
time to attempt any further reduc
tion on letter postage. Senators
Iteck, Hoar, Piatt and others each
lielieved in penuy postage. They
argued that the people wanted and
demanded better and cheaper mail
service, and that they had never
asked that the postoflice department
should be self-sustaining, nor had
they ever complained of extrava
gance In that branch of the govern-H
ment.
Members of the bouso generally
favor the reduction of noatage. on
drop letters at least, to one cent.
There are other bills ou the subject
besides the one snubbed by the sen
ate committee; and others are being
prepared which will be introduced
at an early day. During the one
cent discussion, Senator Beck said
he could not understand how the
government could afford to carry
bonnets, harness and all kind of
merchandise over tho country for
a cent au ounce and not lie able lo
carry the intelligence of the people
at the same rate.
It is said that the forthcoming
tariff bill, which is lieing framed
with such care that it is expected to
please tho whole country, is not of a
radical character. The revenue re
formers who are clamoring for a re
duct ion on the necessaries of life
will lo pleased, it is thought, with
the disposition of wool, woolen
goods, cotton goods and sugar. The
Randall democrats will be placated
with the duties of tobacco cut some
$20,000,000. while the whisky tax
will not be touched.
Sevcuteen Gloucester fisherman hare
arrived at Seattle and will engag0 in
various branches of the fishing industry

At the conclusion of the performance
at Lowery's Music Hall in Dublin last
week Mille Duide, one of the performers,
placed her bead in the lion's mouth for
the purpose of having her photograph
taken in that position. A sudden flash
of light caused the beast to close his jaws
and he retired growling to the corner of
his rage, dragging his helpless victim
with him. He hook tha girl violently,
tearing Iter breasts with his claws. The

Secretary Smith, of the American
board of conioiixsioneri for foreign
missions, appeals for $23,000 to help

of six days before they were lulled.
When uncovered, both were alive, but
the colt was unable to htnnd and sion

The reasors given for the removal of
Fort Cauby are thus explained: "Col, 1
Perry says Fort Canby i now four miles
distant from the Columbia rip er, owing to
the changing of the current, and it i
iiuNMib!e to defend the river from the
present site of the fort. It is of difficult
aoce and costs $10,000 annually to
maintain communication with Astoria, on
the opjMmitc side of the bay. Supplies
are the highest on the Pucitic, and the
men are unable to receive competent
instruction and drill liecaiiKO mx month
